Question - (31 January 2010) 3 Answers - (Newest, 31 January 2010)
A female United States age 30-35, anonymous writes:

I really need some advice.

I can't stop comparing my relationship to others and i am becoming increasingly more jealous of other girls around my boyfriend.

I don't know why i do it and its really getting me down...i keep taking it out on my boyfriend too which makes everything worse.

i am happy with him...i love him but i can admit that i do wish he was a bit more romantic sometimes and a bit more considerate...but its normal to feel like this sometimes isnt it?

anyway what im asking is does anyone have any advice on how i can stop comparing our relationship to others?

thanks

I think it is just human nature to compare things to your situation. I see it all the time where people compare relationships, financial situations, careers, and their physical features to others. So don't feel bad for doing that and remember that he is still with you in the end after being around those other girls.

As far as him being more romantic and considerate then just like CaringGuy said: gently tell him.

lauraly agony aunti used to have the same proble in a past relationship. it ended up breaking us up. But what you have to think about is, he's with you because he enjoys being with you, i don't think he would be in a realationship with you if he wasn't happy? Happy with you, as you are and just happy with being with you. So don't get jealouse of oter relationships,theirs always a darkside that we don't know from looking on the outside. and don't worry about other girls, he's with you right? that means he's happy with you, you have his heart body and mind, and for a man thats special!

Yes. If you want your boyfriend to be more considerate and romantic, then gently tell him. You can see there is something lacking between you two, and the only thing you can do is is try to talk to him about it. Hopefully, he'll listen to you.
